Can Blockchain Solve the Hold-up Problem in Contracts? - Elements in Law, Economics and Politics

Smart contracts written on blockchain ledgers offer a solution. We explain the basic economics and legal relevance of these technologies, and we argue that they can implement liquidated damages without courts.
